Thank you. Best repair video I’ve come across. Living in a 124 year old farm house with a mish-mash of dry wall and plaster walls, all in need of repair. These little fixes are the kind of small but mighty jobs that will build momentum for larger projects and make the place look less abandoned in the mean time. Edit: autocorrect fail
It makes good sense to use such a large knife on such a small area. All the extra inches of the knife help keep everything straight. Like using a straight edge. Before watching this video, I'd probably suffer with a small knife.
Thank you for sharing your talent. I really needed to know how to repair my broken areas. Will you make a video on removing stair carpet and finishing stairs? My carpet is old and I want to remove carpet and finish my stairs. Thank you.
If you’re working with drywall w/o texture. Would adding mesh tape or butt joint drywall tape be beneficial to place over the corner bead, over the additional nails of course?
Yes. In this video I am using a quick dry (rapid set) joint compound. But regular “all purpose” or “light weight” will work just fine. It just takes longer to dry.
Nice ,but I'm doing work like this now and where the metal meets the sheetrock Im still have somewhat of uneven surface .do I still keep adding more mixture (afraid if it's to thick it will have cracking down the road ) or is there something I'm missing or I need to do .thanks
@@israelcontracting4059 sorry what do you mean by dished? It's like the metal corner goes downward compared to the sheetrock ,so when I add the mixture it continues to have a depression ,where I cant get a even surface . By the way I'm using the pre mixed mixture ,not the type that you add water to it
Hi- is it possible to fix the corner of a wall and paint it in the same day? I’m moving out of my apartment and the movers hit the wall. I want to fix it and not be charged a fortune by my landlord.
We had nothing to do with the existing painting of the house. We did however correct any mistakes in the near by areas once the texture had dried and was ready to be re painted.
I think that's caulk - maybe baseboard was removed and reinstalled, or changed out after walls had already been painted. Mine looks like that for the same reason - getting ready to paint now.
@@janedavid684 I’m just busting balls..all good man.lol.thanks for the video though ..my corners are freakin terrible..looks like a heard of Buffalo rubbed against the dam wall
